5 Windmill Street

A tired office building has been repositioned into a series of carefully considered workspaces.

Rather than following a conventional specification, we retained and worked with the existing fabric wherever possible, complemented by a collection of reclaimed fittings sourced from across Central Europe. Bespoke panelling, tables and air-conditioning covers were also designed and made specifically for the building.

The interiors take inspiration from the warmth of 1970s West Coast design, combining natural timber and textured finishes.

The approach is tailored to the creative occupier market of Fitzrovia, where tenants tend to want somewhere with a bit of personality rather than another uniform fit-out.

Alongside the internal refurbishment, we carried out extensive external and roof remedial works and brought the facade together with a more unified grey treatment.
